Sevilla went ahead early through a Rafa Mir header, before Karim Benzema brought the hosts level by taking advantage of a mistake from Sevilla goalkeeper Bono. For large parts of the match Real Madrid were flat, but some late magic was summoned by Vinicius to earn the three points.
Real Madrid goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois was called on to make a save just minutes later to prevent Rafa Mir from scoring a second, provoking more nervous murmurs from the Bernabeu faithful.
Meanwhile David Alaba volley came close to doing the trick, but it was a magical strike from Vinicius that ultimately produced the match-winner. The Brazilian collected a cross-field pass from Militao and did the rest, jinking past a couple Sevilla defenders before rocketing a right-footed effort into the top right corner of net to deliver the 2-1 victory.
